Why would that make a difference? If anything you will pull more warm air from around the motor rather than just behind the light. Either way I can't see a whole lot of temp difference in the air anyway.

Id rather get warmer air in the winter, better fuel mileage would be the result.

^^^^^ Definatly!!

Up here in the Great White North it can get bloody cold at times. I've had my cone filter for a few winters now and it hasn't caused me any grief yet.

You'll be fine with it in the winter months.
